Department of Health unveils free, dual language ‘Walk With Ease’ program

Monday, May 29, 2023

Interurban Trail in Echo Lake Park
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has released a free, new walking program designed to help people manage and prevent chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and arthritis. 

The program, called Walk With Ease, is a self-directed walking program available in English and Spanish that aims to improve people’s health.

After enrollment, participants register, choose a start date, and begin walking three times per week using their own Walk With Ease guidebook and walking journal. 

Participants can also use the online portal to sign up for email alerts, access video resources, and log their progress.

The program aims to help people:
  • Develop a walking plan that meets their needs.
  • Stay motivated.
  • Manage pain.
  • Learn to exercise safely by meeting them where they are today.
“Figuring out how to be active can be hard for people with chronic conditions,” said Kyle Unland, Section Manager of Community-Based Prevention at DOH. “Walk With Ease provides people with a step-by-step plan to get moving and the support needed to make moving easier.”
Research studies on Walk With Ease found it to be safe and effective. It can help people:
  • Reduce pain and stiffness in joints, including from arthritis.
  • Feel less tired.
  • Increase stamina, strength, and balance.
  • Preserve independence.
  • Feel a sense of accomplishment and improved confidence by being in control of their health and well-being.
For more information or to sign up for the free program, visit DOH's website.

Trailhead Direct resumes Transit to Trails service on Saturday May 13, 2023

King County’s Trailhead Direct, the weekends and holidays transit-to-trails service, will begin its fifth season on Saturday, May 13, 2023 and run through Labor Day, Monday, September 4. 

Metro and King County Parks, with the support of the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and Amazon, are working together to provide funding for the 2023 season.

This summer, Trailhead Direct continues to focus the transit-to-trails service on the most popular route with stops at trailheads near Mount Si, Mount Teneriffe, and Little Si. 

Riders can take the bus, Sound Transit Link light rail, or bike to get to the Sound Transit Capitol Hill Link station, where Trailhead Direct coaches will depart every 30 minutes. 

The 2023 season will include service on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.

"Trailhead Direct is a convenient alternative to driving and parking when you want to explore some of the best hiking King County has to offer," said Executive Constantine. 
"I am looking forward to the start of this season's transit-to-trails service, and thank the Seattle Department of Transportation and Amazon for their partnership in this low-impact way to connect people to the great outdoors."

Trailhead Direct will operate with 14- to 32-seat vehicles and will have a rack for either two or three bikes. Passengers can use Metro’s Trip Planner to get more details about transit stops, routes, and schedules. Metro’s standard fares apply, and riders can pay with an ORCA card, Transit Go Mobile ticket, or cash with exact change. Hikers 18 and younger ride Trailhead Direct for free.
